    Rifle Scopes Budget scope

    I think there were 2 versions of "gen 1", the one with set stews in the turrets and the revision with a single screw turret with small improvements to the turret. Now there is the real Gen 2, which is supposed to have the same turrets as the TAC and ETR.

    Rifle Scopes Scope desires of 2020! What are you looking for this year?

    I'd like to see a 18-20max Cronus along with a 7-35 version to replace the current one and put capped windage turrets on them.

    Rifle Scopes Budget scope

    I like Athlons and have had a couple of Ares BTRs and one ETR. The ETR is very nice but the cheapest new one I could find was $950. That being said, unless I could find a good price on a used ETR I'd go with the PSTII if I was in the market for another scope. The reviews seem solid, the customer...

    One last bump, probably just moving this back to my CZ if no takers.

    Rifle Scopes Everyone’s go to rings

    I have these and Seekins. Both are excellent but the Burris Signatures are perfect on a rifle that needs some windage or elevation correction before touching the dials.

    TLC Grips. They have a website but they are also sold by XLR on their website. I've had all the vertical grips except the new Ergo and it's my favorite so far.

    I revamped my CZ 455 with an Oryx chassis, Keystone custom fit barrel and PRX III tuner. The Scar trigger is still going strong with zero problems. I'm still working on dialing in the tuner settings but it averaged .308" 5-shot groups from a bipod/bag shooting prone a couple weeks ago. I was...

    Let the Great Acquaintance Purge of 2020 commence!

    You sound like me and my wife now that we're almost 50. At 40, we were socializing all the time and had a constant parade of "friends" in our lives. Life is so much happier with all that drama gone. Now we spend time with family and very few others outside of work, and I don't miss a thing. I...

    Rifle Scopes Quick look at the new Athlon Midas TAC 5-25x56 APRS3 MIL FFP HD

    Good to hear re: adjustment smoothness. Same thing with Cronus vs. ETR. The ETR is perfect, the Cronus needs a throw lever and the focus knob is way too heavy.

    Rifle Scopes Quick look at the new Athlon Midas TAC 5-25x56 APRS3 MIL FFP HD

    Thanks for the write up, there's not a bunch out there on this scope yet. I have had several Athlon scopes over the past couple of years and I'm down to a Cronus. I'm interested in this newer TAC for another rifle and I'd like someone who has compared it against an ETR to add their 2 cents. I...
